The northern demon tide is like the sea, and chaos in the Central Plains is unending. Even though I wish to protect them, my heart is weak and I can only seek guidance from the immortals."
Pei Zhong shook his head.
"Heh, seeking guidance from the immortals, asking that Sword Sect, then you are asking the wrong person."
Huangfu Yi looked at him,
"Why? Isnât the Sword Sect known for their formidable skills, best at exterminating demons?"
Pei Zhong thought for a moment,
"Those Mystic Sect Mountain People are elusive, with various divine skills. I, as an old servant, dare not speak much. But the rumors about the Nine Yin Sword Sect, even Iâve heard recently.
Itâs said that sixty years ago, their Inner Sect experienced chaos when a rebel disciple emerged, not only starting a massive slaughter and killing the former Sect Leader, but also wiping out the Ninth Peak Sword Masters, then sealing the mountain for closure, erecting a sword array to prevent Sword Sect disciples outside the mountain from returning to the mountain gate.
Therefore, the Sword Sect did not acknowledge that traitor. The Flying Star Sword Monarchs claimed to be Sect Leaders, engaging in mutual killings to grab the Sword Sectâs Daoist inheritance. Now they have split into three or four factions, engaging in sword duels day and night under Nine Yin Mountain, causing rivers of blood. Do you think they have any intention to assist you in exterminating demons?"
"Wh-what!?"
Huangfu Yi was stunned,
"How can this be? Then why would your family send the young lady there?"
Pei Zhong looked at him,
"Isnât it obvious, because itâs the Sword Sectâs true scripture."
"True scripture?"
"The Qi Refining path is the Mystic Sectâs secret manual. Those Mountain People are most wary about karma, very cautious in passing down teachings, and you cannot enter their gate without years of tribute. Without reaching the Nascent Soul True Man realm, one cannot receive the true inheritance.
But that rebellious Sword Sect traitor, who assassinated the Sect Leader, was shockingly heretical, and engraved all the divine skill secret manuals and secret techniques from Nine Yin Mountainâs Sword Pavilion at the mountain front for people to learn by themselves!
He also shamelessly declared that if anyone disagreed, they could learn the Sword Scripture, break into the mountain, smash his array, break his sword, and seize his mountain.
Hence, the various branches of the Sword Sect now strive for the Daoist inheritance, to reclaim Nine Yin Mountain, practicing sword techniques tirelessly, engaging in mutual assaults, and even agree to duel at Nine Yin Mountain every ten years, with some even going as far as to strike the sword array forcefully.
As a result, countless disciples have died and injured, long driven to madness, disregarding any rules. As long as one possesses an immortal fate, joining the sect, one can be imparted the scriptures and sword.
Therefore, nowadays, anyone with a bit of natural talent and no family background in the Jianghu rushes early to Nine Yin Mountain to seek Dao and sword. The whole worldâs Qi Refiners are learning from the Sword Sectâs true scripture."
"Hiss... So bold..."
Even though Huangfu Yiâs character is calm and composed, he was genuinely shocked.
After all, the Huangfu family themselves have secret manuals, whether the Fire Departmentâs Heaven-Burning Flame Fist True Method or the family-inherited Gang Fist Breathing Secret Technique, both are secret techniques passed down from father to son, not easily transmitted.
To engrave it directly on the mountain, letting the world challenge it!?
Crazy... Is this insanity...
Pei Zhong also sighed sincerely,
"Who doesnât want true immortalsâ inheritance? Such good fortune, not only Gate Valve noble families, but probably cultivators of the Three Great Sects wouldnât miss it either.
Master now sending the young lady is already late.
Alas, pity I was born in unfortunate times. If born later, I would also go to the Sword Sect to try my luck."
Hearing this, how could Huangfu Yi not realize whom the Emei Immortal wanted him to find in the mountains...
"Uh, I wonder, how is the Sword Sectâs current Sect Leader addressed?"
Then Pei Yuhuan suddenly appeared from nowhere, shouting,
"You donât even know the Taoist name, yet you go to worship the mountain, truly a fool! Listen! That person is!
The Nine Heavens Xuan Nu True Inheritance, Nine Luminaries Sword Pavilion Chief, Beichen Sword Sect Leader, Supreme Limitless Sword Master, True Lord of the Mysterious Heaven, Ruyi True Monarch!"
